Going to work

Imagine you lived somewhere where you could walk to work and the path looked something like this.

Welcome to Garching bei Muenchen!


Caution: Do not attempt this during the winter. Keine Winterdienst.

-13

What a strange country this is!

Yesterday the temperature at this hour was 22oC, today 9oC. How can the temperature drop 13 degrees so easily? O_o

Anyway, this picture is from last year when I had just bought my camera and I was wondering around in Garching admiring the nature. More pictures to follow!

Red things

It feels like the spring is just around the corner, starkbierfest even closer and paddling season is coming again!!! :)

By the way, does anyone know how are these red things called? Any language is welcome!

Update by Kostas:
My good friend Kostya from Ukraine sent this answer to the question what those red things are called:

"These red things are very similar to traditional Ukrainian bush - калина (kalyna). Snowball Tree in English I guess. This bush is the national symbol of Ukraine. I believe that kalyna is the most poetized herb in our folklore. In the past kalyna was a mandatory participant of wedding ceremonies. Also kalyna symbolizes a beauty of young lady. Fruits of this bush are widely used in Ukrainian folk medicine since Middle Ages and (as you can see from photo) up to present days."

Lollipop

Lollipop, lollipop, lolli-lolli-lollipop!

Spotted in a school yard in Garching.

Hope

The temperature started to rise! Hopefully the ducks in the river will survive this winter as well...
